Looks like 1 Acan is a Micromussa Lordhowensis and 1 is an Acan Echinata so keep them separated.

I went back and added numbers for each picture can you tell me which ones you are referring to?

6 is a Micromussa Lordhowensis, 8 is an Acan Echinata from the looks of the pictures. 13 appears to be a Blasto.

They are currently about 6 inches apart and on the sand. Will that be ok until tomorrow? And I think you said they should be on the sand is that right?

I keep my Micromussa on a small rock island. My Echinata was higher up but it died.

I moved 15 to get what i hope is a better picture. I am sure it's not gsp as I have a small clump of gsp and it looks really different. Also whatever 3 is has never been happy it's always looked that way no matter where I have placed it.

Galaxea

Thank you!

 

[Calmwaters]

If it helps here is the purchase order but a few I asked about are not from this same order 3 and the galaxia are from a different order.

2 is War Coral
13 looks like a Blasto but from that list it may be a Duncan, just doubtful?

 

[Calmwaters]

Oops I did it again... I think I'm going to be good on corals for a while... I'm really excited about the one they have listed as a bubble gum digi it is a beautiful orange color! I was able to get pictures of a few of the ones I bought yesterday.

 

[Calmwaters]

Ok I don't know what to do! I removed the emerald crabs and the shrimp and today I come home to another coral eaten! Could it be the pincushion urchin or some of the hermit crabs or snails?

 

[Calmwaters]

I think I found the head of it... which makes it worse because it's not eating it just ripping it off!

Looks maybe like polyp bail out?

Could it be that he had too much flow?
